Pregnant after 35

We found a heartbeat!!

I am so excited to share my happy update with all of you. I had my follow up u/s today, and was ready to hear the worst. We had barely gotten started and the tech said, "We've got a heartbeat!". I was so surprised and happy I teared up.

So here's the scoop: I'm way earlier than I thought. Due date got bumped down to June 22nd from June 8th. That puts me at 6w1d. Heartbeat was 99,but doc said she's not worried because it's so early.

I am amazed that last week there seemed to be nothing in the yolk sac and today we saw the fetal
Pole and got a heartbeat. It truly seems miraculous to me.

Might be the hormones but I just can't stop feeling so blessed and relieved.

    yay!!!!  I'm over the moon for you. That's awesome news.  That makes total sense then because you would have been really early before so it makes sense that there wasn't much to see. Awesome!!  What a huge relief for you both.

    Thanks everyone!  Doc is going to keep an extra close eye on our LO for a while.  So I have my first Dr. Office appointment next Monday.  Then they will have me back on the 13th for another u/s.  We are just much earlier than I thought, so it's hard to see much at this point.
